Disney theme parks are requiring masks indoors again

Anyone who wants to visit California's Disneyland or Walt Disney World Resort in Florida must wear a face mask indoors again, as cases of the COVID-19 Delta variant continue to climb in both states. 

The entertainment giant updated its health guidelines late Wednesday to include mandatory face masks for all guests, ages 2 and up, starting Friday, no matter their vaccination status. Visitors must also wear a mask while riding on the various modes of transportation within the park, according to the most recent guidelines. "Beginning July 30, face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) while indoors and in Disney buses, monorail and Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status. This includes upon entering and throughout all attractions," Disney posted on its website. Masks remain optional for guests outdoors, the company noted.
